  • Description

    Picked in early spring, this crisp, quenching and uplifting tea expresses the unique Darjeeling terroir, with zesty spring freshness and high floral aromas that make way for a fruitiness in the taste.

    This small batch of first flush 2024 was created for JING by tea maker Ms Bhavana Rai. It's a highly floral batch with distinct fruitiness and a classic China character. Satisfying and refined – perfect for a late morning or afternoon pick-me-up. Samabeong garden was planted in 1882 and sitting at around 1,800m is one of the highest Darjeeling gardens. The steep slopes where this tea is picked directly face the Himalayas, from where a cold breeze encourages slow growth of the tea plants with accompanying complex flavours.
